SUPERBIA
Walk Back

Nafla's hands stretched out and grabbed one of the gifts in the closet. The size is not too big, even arguably small. However, there are greeting cards associated there. Nafa reading.

Happy 21st birthday to the baby we hope is always healthy and happy: Nafla Afanin Tirta.

Nafla should smile happily reading it. But somehow he shed tears. The drops of tears that slowly turned into a hiccup.

Nafla slowly tore the slightly dusty wrapping paper. Apparently a wooden box was wrapped there. Then, he opened the box carefully and found a watch with a black chain inside. Nafla wiped her tears, then took the watch out of the box.

He noticed a digital clock that no longer displayed numbers even though he pressed the button. Maybe the battery ran out. After putting the box on the bed, Nafla put the watch on her wrist.

"Thank you, Pa."

Suddenly the watch screen lit up and showed the number 72:00. A number strange enough to be shown by a timepiece. Surprisingly again, the numbers on the clock were moving backwards. Now the number is 71.57.

Nafla's forehead frowned. However, he chose not to bother. He pulled the clock and was about to open it, but could not. The clock is locked on his left wrist.

Nafla panic. He tried to pull the hook again, but the clock chain hook remained locked. He was also pushed up, he could not.

"How is this?"

It has become a routine papa, if you go home directly to the second floor. In addition to his workspace and personal library there, he also routinely entered Nafla's room.

Papa's eyes seemed to widen when he saw from afar the door of his eldest daughter's room was slightly open. He moved his feet quickly to Nafla's room and opened the door. So far no one has ever entered the room other than at certain times to be cleaned.

"Bianca?" Papa's forehead wrinkled when he found Bianca there. The girl looked shocked.

Papa walked over, his eyes glancing towards the open closet door, then onto the bed. There is a torn paper gift and a wooden box that Nafla opened earlier. Now papa's gaze turned to the black chain clock on Nafla's wrist.

"You have that watch, too."

Nafla looked surprised. "I have one too, Pa?"

"Sure," replied papa. His eyes looked a little suspicious. "You wear it a lot."

Nafla is just grinning. He was confused how and somehow the black clock did not want to escape from his hands. "My watch's broken, so I borrowed Nafla's."

Although still suspicious, but papa chose to nod his head. Then, turn her body. "Let's lock the door again."

"Pa?"

Papa's footsteps who were about to leave the room stopped. He turned his body again and looked surprised as Nafla ran, then hugged him.

"Why, Bia?"

Nafla shook her head. He just tightened his embrace. "I love Papa."

Papa smiled, then rubbed the back of his daughter's spoiled head. "Papa loves you too."

Meanwhile, the number indicated by the clock locked on Nafla's wrist already shows the number 71.50.

Time keeps moving backwards.

***

Az hasn't heard from Nafla. After the prayer, he grabbed his phone and found no message in Nafla's name. The girl should have told me.

Azariel Firdaus

What do?

Uwu! Nafla's eyes were rounded as she read the attentive message. He put his body on the bed, then thought the right words to reply.

Azariel Firdaus

Don't keep typing, but it's not sent!

20.10 WIB

Uhuk! Nafla could not help her smile. He felt a tickle on his chest that made his lips curl themselves.

Afanin Nafla

The kangen?

20.11 WIB

Long wait, but no answer. His status is still online. Frezeer base can not be invited ngebucin.

Azariel Firdaus

What do?

20.17 WIB

He wanted to answer, again thought to you, but Nafla was afraid Az really did not answer the message again. So, he just snorted in annoyance. Then, take a photo of the black watch that was wailing in his hand. Then, send it to Az.

Afanin Nafla

Cannot be opened.

20.18 WIB

Az looked at the photo of the clock that Nafla sent attentively, until Nafla's next message came back in.

Afanin Nafla

Watch numbers. Weird, right? It was 72:00, now it's 69:50

20.20 WIB

Az no longer replied to Nafla's message. He was still watching the picture of the clock the girl had sent.

Time to walk backwards?
